This clanked out listicle era of the internet has made basic consumer research impossible for most people. You now need highly specialized knowledge and skills to track down credible primary sources for anything. Cool if you can do that, but can your parents? Or are they still "Googling it"? 🤮

Puzzle Depot, PC/Steam/Itch.io - Easily one of the best Sokoban-style games I’ve seen, this game features large levels with lots of screens to mix short- and long-term goals. Typically seems insurmountable, but always makes you feel like a genius. Thoughtful & funny plot, great pixel art and music.

@scottwiener.bsky.social Genuinely shocked to have seen you vote to pass AB 2047. Hard to imagine the guy I spoke to many years ago about net neutrality is now apparently supporting aggressive govt. surveillance bills. This was huge vote against consumer rights and data privacy. Very disappointed.

Comment about a game likely meant as a complement, which I would take as a criticism: "This game is addictive" Comment about a game likely meant as criticism that I'm likely to take as a complement: "Not immediately sure how to approach this game."

Run amok as a rampaging lizard person in the next Puzzle Depot update! What's got them so riled up, anyway? 🔥🦎🔥 There's some new hazards to discover, like these palette-swapped "Oilmoebas". Be careful about splatting one near an open flame... The Flames & Fangs update drops this summer! #puzzlegame

Well it looks like SiX (Seattle indies) is melting down over GenAI, but on the bright side I've found another local indie group springing up AND a trans group over on Kitsap, all because of that! So YAY! (but also RIP SiX, unless someone gets through to the organizers)

Seattle Indies has been widely regarded as one of the best indie orgs for a while now. All the more disappointing to learn of their new embrace of genAI, and the zeal at which they chased out leadership critical of its use in Indie spaces. I will no longer be participating in future SI events. 📉

Hey game developers - if you are looking into publishing as a possible route to help launch your game, I wrote up this guide about what contractual pitfalls to be aware of when considering partners and negotiating terms. (This also exists in a talk format, if video is more your speed)

One of the questions we get more than any other: What's the difference between a good publisher and a bad one in the #indiedev space? Today, our COO @discordiadystopia.bsky.social pulls back the curtain on publisher red flags! Give it a read: buff.ly/j3pXZbu
